Fantasy Football 2024: Tennessee Titans' top 5 assets ranked feat. DeAndre Hopkins

Much has changed for the 2024 Tennessee Titans, both in the real life NFL and in fantasy football realms.

After finishing 2023 with a disappointing 6-11 season, they fired long-time coach Mike Vrabel, replacing him with former Bengals offensive coordinator Brian Callahan. Tennessee finished last in the AFC South with the team's second-consecutive losing record and second-consecutive missed playoff berth.

Along with Vrabel, the most notable departure during Tennessee's offseason has been star running back Derrick Henry. The former NFL Offensive Player of the Year left for the Baltimore Ravens during free agency after five 1,000-yard seasons and leading the NFL in rushing attempts in four of the last five seasons.

With many new faces entering the Titans' building for 2024, it raises the question as to who will be their best fantasy football assets for this season.

Titans' best fantasy assets in 2024

#5, Tyler Boyd, WR

One of the Tennessee Titans' newest weapons for quarterback Will Levis is veteran receiver Tyler Boyd.

Boyd played third-fiddle behind Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins during his time with the Cincinnati Bengals and will likely do the same behind Calvin Ridley and DeAndre Hopkins in Tennessee. Boyd has never put up astronomical numbers (1,046 yards in 2019 was his career high), but he has always proven to be a solid reliable slot receiver, the type a young quarterback like Levis can rely on.

In addition, he links up with his former OC in Titans' new coach Brian Callahan, so he already has rapport with his coaches.

#4, Tyjae Spears, RB

After the departure of Derrick Henry, Tyjae Spears will have been hoping to become the teams' RB1 for 2024. Instead, the Titans' backfield is muddled with the arrival of Tony Pollard from the Dallas Cowboys.

The fact Tennessee gave Pollard a three-year deal worth $21.7m means they may view him as the teams' starter.

However, Spears still has value, especially in the pass-game or as a change-of-pace back. Spears will be hoping for a Pollard-esque season as RB2 much like Pollard did backing up Ezekiel Elliott in Dallas as he topped 1,000 yards whilst starting just four games.

#3, Tony Pollard, RB

Pollard would likely be higher on this list if not for competition for snaps with Spears. He joined the team after a disappointing season as the Dallas Cowboys' starting running back, amassing just 1,005 yards and six touchdowns on 252 carries.

Despite the poor numbers, Pollard was carrying an injury to begin 2023, and through Weeks 11-18, Pollard ranked 15th in yards after contact per attempt meaning there's hope he returns to his 2022 form in some capacity in 2024.

#2, DeAndre Hopkins, WR

Veteran wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins should remain a relevant fantasy football asset for the Titans in 2024.

Hopkins reminded the NFL world about his abilities as he notched his seventh 1,000-yard season last year, amassing 1,057 yards and seven touchdowns on 75 receptions. His 75 receptions came on 137 targets as his target share was a massive 28%, displaying his instant rapport with QB Will Levis.

Despite turning 32 this offseason, Hopkins still has WR2 potential, and his only drawback could be the targets new WR Calvin Ridley will command.

#1, Calvin Ridley, WR

Calvin Ridley is arguably the Tennessee Titans' best fantasy football option in 2024.

Ridley joined the Titans' from AFC South rivals the Jacksonville Jaguars during the offseason, signing a four-year $92 million deal with $50 million fully guaranteed. The size of his contract means the Titans will surely view Ridley as their WR1 going forward.

In his first year since suspension, Ridley amassed 1,016 yards and eight touchdowns on 76 receptions. He ended the season as WR18 in PPR scoring in 2023 and will look to have an even better season in a more pass-heavy offense in Tennessee.
